https://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/A_2300-Outlook-continually-prompting-for-username-and-password.html


Shotgun Fix for Outlook Problems:
Step 1 - Non-Destructive
Run "Outlook.exe /safe" (If it fixes the problem it is probably an add-in that needs to be disabled.)
Run "Outlook.exe /resetnavpane" (You'd be surprised what this fixes)
Look through this list of other switches that may help you:
Outlook Switches: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/command-line-switches-for-microsoft-office-outlook-2007-HP001218589.aspx

Step 2 - Repairs
Run Scanpst.exe or Scanost.exe on your OST or PST files.
Run Diagnostics: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/diagnose-and-repair-crashing-office-programs-by-using-office-diagnostics-HA001234076.aspx#BM2
Repair Microsoft Office Suite - Control Panel > Program Features > Select Office Suite > Change > Repair

Step 3 - Sledge Hammer
Delete the OST and let it rebuild
Re-Create the Profile
   Save the NK2 or DAT file - You can use NK2Edit to manipulate this information and sometimes repair nickname problems
      http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/outlook_nk2_edit.html
   Save the Signatures folder
   Make note of any attached PST files (archives)
   Make sure you have both the local server and the OWA settings recorded

Ping 127.0.0.1 (If no reply re-install TCP/IP Stack)
